The video extensively discusses strategies for combatting Factory Striders, the largest and most robust automaton units in "Hell Divers 2." These formidable enemies are equipped with minigun turrets, cannon turrets, and can spawn dangerous Devastators, posing significant challenges to players. Effective weapon choices against Striders include medium armor-piercing weapons like Scorchers and Jar 5 Dominators, various grenades, autocannons, quazer cannons, and the potent 380 mm barrage. Critical tactics involve targeting the Striders' weak spots, particularly the underside, and strategic use of orbital laser strikes and eagle air strikes. The video highlights the auto cannon as the most reliable weapon due to its consistent efficiency. Additionally, situational strategies such as using hell bombs for one-hit eliminations are explored. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive guide to defeating Factory Striders, aiming to help players handle these challenging units effectively.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the newly introduced “Eliminate Factory Strider” mission in Hell Divers 2. Factory Striders are the largest and most resilient automaton units, equipped with minigun turrets and a cannon turret. These units can spawn groups of Devastators and are extremely deadly. The mission, which was added without prior notice in the patch notes, requires players to defeat Factory Striders. The difficulty of this mission ranges from level 4 to 6, with higher difficulties necessitating the elimination of more Factory Striders. The video aims to provide strategies to defeat these menacing units, emphasizing their mechanics and the best methods to tackle them effectively, even for low-level players.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for combating large units known as Factory Striders, particularly focusing on their double miniguns. These miniguns, located under the chest area of the Striders, can be quickly destroyed with medium armor-penetrating weapons like Scorchers and Jar 5 Dominators. Other effective options include grenades, autocannons, and quazer cannons, although quazer cannon shots should be conserved for more critical uses. The video suggests targeting the Striders’ vents around their bodies as a last resort when other options are exhausted. Additionally, the undersides of the Striders are highlighted as significant weak spots for armor-penetrating weapons, though attacking these areas in a live game is deemed highly risky due to the presence of multiple enemy units. The video aims to cover the most effective methods to handle these large units while recommending checking out another channel for more comprehensive testing with various support weapons.

In this part of the video, the narrator discusses strategies for tackling factory Striders in a high-difficulty scenario. The weakest spot of a Strider is its underside, particularly vulnerable to armor-penetrating weapons. The orbital laser, while highly damaging, may not completely destroy a Strider in one hit, but combined with follow-up attacks like orbital precision strikes or rail cannon strikes, it can be effective without exposing oneself.
Another highly effective method is using the 380 mm barrage, which has a large radius and can potentially take down a Strider with two hits. Upgrading this barrage makes it even more powerful. Additionally, eagle air strikes, available from level two, can rapidly eliminate factory Striders due to their ability to hit them with multiple rockets, especially when the Strider is perpendicular to the player. The narrator emphasizes the importance of positioning for maximum impact and cautions against using rail cannon strikes and 500-kilo bombs, as they are ineffective against factory Striders.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various strategies for dealing with large enemy units, specifically factory Striders. They highlight that while Eagle air strikes are effective, the auto cannon stands out as the most consistent and efficient weapon, elevating it to an SSS tier status. The auto cannon can take down factory Striders quickly by targeting weak spots such as the minigun areas or the red eye on their face. Additionally, the speaker mentions situational strategies like using hell pods, shooting vents from atop, utilizing the turret’s own cannon against itself, and deploying blue stratagems for extra damage. They also note that hell bombs are the best method for eliminating factory Striders in one hit. The video concludes with a message of appreciation to the audience.
